1:07 am

Christine

Right near the Burbank airport. Near the YAHOO building

1:07 am

jillibus

I have Brit cousins in Brentwood

1:08 am

justafreep

1:08 am

stidmama

my great-great-aunt used to live in burbank. my great great grandfather was a policeman there in the teens and twenties...

1:08 am

Christine

Nice places, Hancock Park and Brentwood

1:09 am

stidmama

btw... the elder stidkid just put himself back on the market... *nailing discounted sale sign to side of house*

1:09 am

justafreep

note the "ish" :-)

1:09 am

jillibus

Never been to any part of LA

1:09 am

stidmama

my granny used to live in eaglerock/highland park just west of pasadena

1:09 am

DR1965

1:10 am

DR1965

My uncle lives in Ventura

1:10 am

stidmama

will include all his college savings, furniture and my first year's earnings as a teacher (when I get there)

1:10 am

Hugabugs

I went to LA for my first honeymoon

1:10 am

stidmama

*grin* he comes with trumpets though *includes earplugs in package deal*

1:11 am

jillibus

what did he do this time, stid?

1:11 am

DR1965

good luck with that Stid... does he clean or cook or just blow trumpets

1:11 am

Christine

Does the elder stickkid have a job?

1:11 am

Hugabugs

hmmm... I wonder if trumpets and clarinets go well together

1:11 am

stidmama

dissed people who take shop classes when his brother asked if there is metal shop at the high school...

1:12 am

Hugabugs

how old is he stid?

1:12 am

stidmama

personally, I would have taken shop classes if I had been able to fit them into my schedule! and the younger stidkid would enjoy the creativity...

1:12 am

DR1965

clarinets and trumpets works Hugs

1:13 am

DR1965

our discussion todya was " IF you arenot 100% truthful with me, I can not be you Mom."

1:13 am

stidmama

the kid is apparently old enough to shoot his mouth off and then get angry when called on his radical and inflammatory language *sigh*

1:13 am

jillibus

guess you'd better get him enrolled in a shop class

1:13 am

stidmama

oooh DR! sounds only too familiar!

1:13 am

DR1965

Good Idea

1:14 am

Hugabugs

last year, Britt had the option of shops or home ec classes... so she took shops for half the year and home ec for the other half.

1:14 am

Hugabugs

this year they had to choose one or the other

1:15 am

stidmama

the elder one was, but didn't take advantage of assistance that was available so didn't enjoy it. He has therefore decided that all people in shop classes are unworthy

1:16 am

jillibus

defensive mechanism

1:17 am

stidmama

yes, I know that. but he also must learn that one cannot blame everyone else for one's own decisions.

1:18 am

stidmama

I keep trying "dreft"...

1:18 am

stidmama

every time that is in the grid, I try it

1:18 am

Have you seen the icon themes for Xmas?

2:28 am

2:31 am

sprite

2:34 am

jillibus

sprite -- have you seen dan2bit's live puppy-watching site? It's off the air just now, but if you scroll down there's a description on the right of what's going on.

2:35 am

jillibus

It's http://tinyurl.com/bwvnpa

2:36 am

jillibus

I think they live somewhere where it's close to grid time so if you're around during their daytime you can watch

2:37 am

sprite

aw sweet! Thanks jilli! We wanted to visit tomorrow, but the breeder won't let us, lol. Not before they are 2 weeks old.

2:37 am

jillibus

several of us have been fascinated. There's a chat alongside the movie

2:38 am

jillibus

so you can watch Australian Shepherd newborns instead :)

2:38 am

sprite

theme updated, it says Gold now.
Btw, can you tell me what the difference is between gold and golden? Have often wondered. Apart from it being the song text.

2:40 am

jillibus

Gold is the element itself, and things made of it. Golden describes the colour. At least that's the way I see it.

2:40 am

sprite

ok, that makes sense! So a gold ring and a golden light

2:41 am

jillibus

yes -- and a Golden Retiever :D

2:41 am

jillibus

famine?

4:17 am

BabbleRabble

He postulated the population of the Earth would eventually exceed the resources available to sustain the people. He likened the situation to experiments down with mice. The mice eventually cannibalized to stay alive.

Why blame Haz? It's bound to have been FM's fault.

10:01 am

Haz1558

Since when has Haz been associated with burping in any shape or form, TO?

oops, a note from the daschund

Haz1558

He must be a very stretchy dachshund if he can readh the keyboard.

10:03 am

magazinemom

I believe that is good morning in daschund-ese

10:03 am

CiociaJudy

not bad for a caschund; thanks for the translation

10:03 am

CiociaJudy

*daschund

10:03 am

Vicuna

If he can read it, he's got a stretchy brain, too.

10:03 am

magazinemom

LOL Haz, I have my laptop on the bed and she danced across the keyboard in her effort to make sure the other dog didn't get all the petting

10:04 am

Haz1558

That explains things, magmom. I had visions of Slinky, the toy story dog, being able to do all manner of manoeuvres.

10:05 am

magazinemom

Tootsie only wishes she were that athletic :-)

10:06 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers :)

10:06 am

Haz1558

Are both dogs dachshunds?

10:06 am

NonoNanette

was it just me or was the site down earlier?

10:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Nono.

10:07 am

bichon

My bichon is happy/sad that my granddaughter Savannah has left. He doesn't get his tail pulled, but he misses sitting under her highchair and catching the flying orts

10:07 am

CiociaJudy

YEAH! fireworks! *racing off to the shower*

10:07 am

Vicuna

Nice use of a Babblet in normal conversation, bichon!

10:07 am

NonoNanette

woohooo congrats Judy

10:07 am

Vicuna

Yay for CiociaJudy!

10:07 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Ciocia.

no haz, I also have a german shepard/collie mix

10:08 am

You'd expect the collie mix to be ultra-bright, would I be right?

by the time you all see this - IF you see it - i'll be gone. the site is acting up and i cannot stand it anymore. later!

10:09 am

Haz1558

See you later, TO!

10:09 am

NonoNanette

10:09 am

Vicuna

Well, we saw it... but I guess there's no use in saying Goodbye...

10:10 am

NonoNanette

site seems ok to me now but I could not get in earlier this morning

10:10 am

magazinemom

Haz- Blossom is amazing- she's a rescue dog, but some one trained her well. She is the best dog I have ever had. She does have an addiction to the b-a-l-l, but we can't find her a 12 step program for that.

10:11 am

Haz1558

Do you use her in agility or anything like that or is she just a pet?

10:12 am

bichon

Haz, what do you mean by "just a pet". Being a pet is the first and foremost <ggg>

10:13 am

Haz1558

I know. I actually thought about that when I was writing it - 'just' isn't really appropriate, is it?

10:13 am

magazinemom

no, she is older and she's just our big, furry girl. She stays on my daughter's bed at night unril she is asleep and then she parksherself in teh hallway prepared to take a leg off anyone who might bother us

10:13 am

Vicuna

"exclusively a pet" might work

10:14 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Vicuna, you've got the mot juste. I never introduce myself as 'just' a housewife, now that I know I'm really a self-scheduling domestic overseer.

10:15 am

Vicuna

I'm a layabout, with kids.

10:15 am

Haz1558

Nonsense, you're a nurturer of future glory seekers.

10:15 am

Vicuna

Except when I'm in Artiste mode, of course.

10:16 am

magazinemom

I like that one haz, may I appropriate for future use?

10:16 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, magmom.

10:17 am

magazinemom

You may find your words in this month's magazine :-)

10:17 am

Vicuna

That's why we all respect Haz. She's no mere housewife!

10:17 am

magazinemom

seriously I must got to work. I leave Blossom and Tootsie to guard the place in my absence. Have a good day all!

10:18 am

Vicuna

Bye, magazinemom.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Bye magazinemom, have a good day.

10:19 am

NonoNanette

Jacula

Ha! Just found the spiny vole.

10:20 am

Vicuna

I've missed that little guy.

10:22 am

Jacula

Oh, and the moody kids who're ov4 12 and under 20.

10:23 am

Vicuna

I haven't missed them.

10:23 am

Haz1558

I wonder if the spiny vole is moody in its adolescent years?

10:23 am

Haz1558

You know, all prickly.

10:23 am

Jacula

Proably, Haz.

10:23 am

Vicuna

They do tend to be a little prickly.

10:24 am

Jacula

or even probably.

10:24 am

Jacula

LOL Vicuna.

10:25 am

Jacula

I haven't, bichon.

10:25 am

It's from Monty Python

10:26 am

I went to see the musical Hot Flush last night. It was really funny. Lesley Joseph was in it. Didn't really how tiny she is!

10:30 am

10:30 am

Haz1558

No, there's te6/27 which is t plus e5/16

10:31 am

Katydid0615

thanks! totally missed that e

10:31 am

Haz1558

Is she around the 5 foot mark or smaller?

10:31 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Katydid.

10:31 am

Jacula

About 5 foot and very petite.

10:31 am

Vicuna

Ho hum, time to wander off. Bye, all!

10:32 am

Jacula

'Bye Vicuna.

10:32 am

Not those twins demanding your attention again? See you again, Vi.

10:32 am

NonoNanette

bye bye Vicuna

10:33 am

Haz1558

What's her singing voice like, Jacula?

10:34 am

Jacula

It's good, Haz. All the cast were good. (4 woman and 1 man who played all the males)

10:34 am

Haz1558

Mr Multi-Tasking! Were any of the others well known?

10:35 am

Jacula

Yes, I've seen 2 of the other women before and the man's quite well known, too.

10:37 am

KatieMcG

Norma are you still here?

10:37 am

Jacula

I went with my Mum and an old schoolfriend and her mum. I think our Mum's had their eyes opened when the song 'Hum Rabbit, Hum' (to the tune of Run Rabbit) came on. I don't think I have to say what the girls were holding! Also, the man in the gimp mask with a collar and lead on in the speed dating scene. The Mums both roared with laughter, thank goodness.

10:37 am

Jacula

Sorry about the spurious apostrophe!

10:38 am

KatieMcG

Lol jacula :-)

10:38 am

Norma

Yes Katie

10:38 am

Haz1558

Not to worry, we all make mistakes (although professional sign-writers shouldn't!)

10:39 am

KatieMcG

Do you need a lift for tonight & have you got any disposable napkins?

10:40 am

Jacula

True, Haz. , especially if painting a sign for Mr. Nut The Therapist or the like.

10:40 am

Norma

Yes I have got napkins, no I don't need a lift thanks I will be very good and drive .. will bring the napkins sure you don't want anything else

10:41 am

Haz1558

Now I'll start worrying about whether it should be Nut's Therapy or Nuts' Therapy.

10:41 am

Jacula

LOL, Haz.

10:41 am

Haz1558

He should just call it 'Care to share?'

10:42 am

Jacula

Good one, Haz. Better than being Mr. Nut The Rapist.

10:43 am

Haz1558

What a thought!

10:47 am

It's up to you, stid - any time constraints?

10:49 am

Hi all....clue please for cr7/36 please?

10:49 am

not really, just patience constraints

10:49 am

stidmama

hey flask!

10:49 am

stidmama

33...

10:50 am

Haz1558

cr6/27 - looks like it might have something to do with beliefs, - follow the c with a colour and run it into a bump in the car.

10:50 am

stidmama

I don't have that one yet flask... *thinking*

10:51 am

Haz1558

Or c plus a colour plus a number rearranged

10:51 am

stidmama

now I do! thanks haz!

10:51 am

thanks Haz!

10:51 am

You're welcome.

Sorry, I gave the clue for cr7/36 and got numbers mixed up.

10:52 am

Jacula

Hi Stid and Katy. I was outside taking some photos.

10:53 am

Katydid0615

morning jac.

10:53 am

stidmama

pics of the lingering snow, jac?

10:53 am

BabbleRabble

very nice clue for the cr 7/36, Haz

10:54 am

Haz1558

Thanks BabbleRabble.

10:54 am

Jacula

Yes, Stid. How did you guess? I was looking at the hillock left by my melting snow penguin and had a couple of amusing ideas for pics.

10:54 am

stidmama

I looked out at the melting snow this morning and had the same idea, but no incentive to go out while I feel yucky. So will send a kid out with the camera later...

10:55 am

Jacula

Hope you feel better soon, stid.

10:55 am

stidmama

thanks jacula, so do I. Slept on the sofa last night so I would be more upright. *sigh* not having fun.

10:55 am

BabbleRabble

what is the plan to deyuckyfy, stid?

10:56 am

stidmama

down to 30... (except for babble - always fun)

10:56 am

KatieMcG

Thanks Norma, see you at 7

10:56 am

stidmama

live through the flu is my only plan, BR. drinking LOTS of OJ and ginger ale. though right now I might just switch to ALE...

We got a bit, nothing like as much as in England and nothing to compare with what you get routinely. It's all gone again.

11:00 am

Jacula

Haz - did you see the snow pics from Canada I posted in my blog? Snow up to the rooftops.

11:01 am

Katydid0615

firewords! anyone need any clues before I go?

11:01 am

Jacula

phantom - 'predator'.

11:01 am

Haz1558

I did indeed. That's why I always feel slightly embarrassed when we talk about our difficulties with snow.

11:01 am

Jacula

Well done, Katy.

11:01 am

stidmama

that's the thing, haz. where I live we don't get snow routinely. We have the same climate as County Down, (where my Conn ancestors came from) snow, even a couple inches, closes everything. one child hasn't had school since Tuesday at 10 am!

11:01 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Katy!

11:02 am

Katydid0615

thanks Jacula and Haz and all

11:02 am

YAY katydid!

11:02 am

11:02 am

CiociaJudy

*rushing out the door* but need to check on Stid! How are you feeling today?

11:02 am

Jacula

Same he4 re the d's, stid.

11:03 am

stidmama

still icky, but not achy. thanks, judy -- you?

11:03 am

Haz1558

The schools, especially in rural areas, depend on buses to bring in children from outlying areas. If the roads aren't salted - too tricky to proceed.

11:03 am

Jacula

Found it.

11:03 am

Katydid0615

has to be a de then, cause the only one d not de is the dr

11:03 am

CiociaJudy

fine, thanks. Going to see Corey bowl in his league.

11:03 am

fuquayvarina

there's only one dr, so you must need another de. they are all 4''s and 5's

11:03 am

CiociaJudy

*sending more hot toddies and chocolate to Stid*

11:03 am

stidmama

exactly, haz -- and they NEVER gravel or plow our little side road (and our cars are not tall enough to move over de4 snow).

11:04 am

stidmama

enjoy, judy! wish him luck!

11:04 am

Jacula

Mine was a de4 that doesn't sound cheap.

11:04 am

stidmama

thanks katy and fuquay

11:04 am

I'm sure the same excuses/reasons are used the world over - not enough resources.

11:04 am

k sorry to be rude, but gotta run. *poof*

You probably need the plural of not shallow, stid.

11:05 am

Jacula

'Bye Katy.

11:05 am

CiociaJudy

*unpoof* want to hear about the show last night Jac. catch you later. *repoof*

11:05 am

stidmama

and the real reason is not enough planning... although to be fair this winter has had the kind of snow that only comes once every 30-50 years historically. most years the equipment would just sit rusting.

11:05 am

stidmama

thanks jac -- that was it, actually!

11:06 am

Jacula

y/w, stid.

sppppprrrriiiiitttte! angst. bad news. DEATH GLARES at post office people. I went to get parcel on thursday. they didn't have it. they said the delivery people had it. so I phoned up delivery people. they didn't have it. I phoned up again today. they have returned it to you because I wasn't in when they tried to deliver it. GAH! wtf? they usually try THREE TIMES! could you please resend, and I'll refund you the extra postage costs, obviously!

12:19 pm

quite a while for sure, I have kept on trying for a long time before giving up

That's a bit silly. If they can't deliver a parcel here (one try) they leave a card and you have to go to the nearest Post Office to pick it up

12:22 pm

nice heart, phaeton

12:22 pm

Atalante

whatever they charge you, I'll pay it

PAV we did the same - looked at 72 houses (!) before I chose this one - which we still love

1:39 pm

redturtlehead

Well, maybe someone will fall in love with it tomrorro.,

1:39 pm

redturtlehead

Wow JBV!

1:40 pm

JBV

realtor was patient, my husband not so much - he kept going for the very high end houses, I kept getting nervous about the payments, so it was tense there for a while

1:41 pm

JBV

we were shopping for a neighborhood, too, my son was only in 2nd grade

1:41 pm

redturtlehead

that is very important, and it sounds like you had some time to take time.

1:42 pm

mixi6

I looked at every house listed in the multi-listing in my price range and then started on the for sale by owner before I found this one.

1:42 pm

JBV

we were renting at the time, so no pressure to sell,

1:43 pm

mixi6

Spring is the best time to sell a house, especially once the flowers bloom.

1:43 pm

JBV

red, is your plan to sell this house and buy in florida?

1:43 pm

PAV3

the condo I really wanted (within my range) had ownership issues - the realtor/renter thought she was buying on a lease to own deal, and the realtor owner thought otherwise...as much as I would have liked being there, I wanted no part of a legal tangle...

1:43 pm

redturtlehead

Not sure about buying, I actually want to rent for a while...unless I make enough for a down payment...

1:44 pm

JBV

we bought ours in the summer, I remember stepping into the house on a scorching hot day and LOVING the central air conditioning - that was definitely a selling point!

1:45 pm

redturtlehead

JBV! I can tell you are up north, its a rare home in the south that doesnt have Central Air.

1:45 pm

JBV

no, it's just that the apartment we were living in did not have that red, so we were impressed

1:46 pm

mixi6

mine didn't have ac when I bought it. I didn't get central air until I got married.

1:46 pm

mixi6

mine didn't have ac when I bought it. I didn't get central air until I got married.

1:46 pm

mixi6

mine didn't have ac when I bought it. I didn't get central air until I got married.

1:46 pm

redturtlehead

Wow Mixi, that makes for some hot summers.

1:46 pm

JBV

anyone with kids will appreciate this - the MAIN reason we chose this house over many others was the huge maple tree in the backyard so my son could have his dream treehouse (which is still there, home to squirrels and birds)

1:47 pm

redturtlehead

thats great JBV. I recently drove by my childhood home and was crushed to see most of the trees have been removed by the present owners.

Yes, one theory is that the pilot decided to minimize loss by hitting one house instead of a whole row of homes. We are likely never to know.

72 Temple Owl

i just found 5 words the old fashinoned way *beaming*

3:46 pm

stidgmere

I'm leaving for the time being with 6 nasty words left. Why is it always the hardest words are last? Like finding objects in the last place you look. Sounds like connections to the grid are difficult today for some areas? or computers? All Happy Valentine's day. Behave yourselves. Whatever that means.

3:46 pm

Aussieme

Go TO !!

3:46 pm

Aussieme

Hey Stidgmere, nice to see you again !

3:46 pm

mo

the old fashioned way????

3:47 pm

3:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol stidgemere - that leaves a lot of latitude by babble rules

3:47 pm

mo

same to you stidge ... we will behave.

3:47 pm

stidgmere

Aussieme glad to see you too. I have been wearing out my dictionary the last few days. I hate to give up and ask for clues if I am just too lazy to try to find the words or monkey them. Sometimes the 4 letter words are soooo hard.

3:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i lack one n wrod and it's maddening

3:48 pm

stidgmere

A bietot.

3:48 pm

Aussieme

I usually find the 4 letter words frustrating too !

3:48 pm

stidgmere

A bientot. Spelling going poof.

3:48 pm

Aussieme

Abientot Stidgmere...

3:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

3:51 pm

Aussieme

lol !

3:51 pm

stidgmere

The ne 4 s are 3 different words. The first has to do with tides, the second is a person who usually is good with computers but not people, the last is the fish-catching tool.

3:51 pm

Aussieme

TO, do you have the ne5, when someone is annoying you, they are getting on your ne***s

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

herin, those fires sound even worse than some of the awful fires they've had in Calif & SW here in the last several years. I have never been able to come up with words that describe my attitude about arson :(

5:00 pm

herinfernallady

Tyger I don't think I could be allowed to print my words on arsonists. Kingslake area they believe was deliberately lit.And its stinky down here too

5:01 pm

JBsAnno

@ Anniebrook - actually, it's a typo courtesy of K21 just a little while ago in the chat, definitely an LOL word!

5:01 pm

JBsAnno

{{herin}} glad you haven't lost internet access!

5:01 pm

Anniebrook

JB, It is a very apt description for what I dont know but it will come in handy

5:02 pm

Anniebrook

Arsonists are murderers in this case

5:02 pm

5:02 pm

HI JB. No i paid the bill

5:02 pm

Trifioso

how many people do they actually have in custody?

5:03 pm

JBsAnno

There are arson attacks in a nearby town called Coatesville, people are really scared, and they can't catch who's been doing it, for about 6 months now. Several families have been burned out of their homes.

5:03 pm

tygerbryght

arsonists very often are, annie. that's what makes it so much more awful, IMO

5:03 pm

magazinemom

JB- I saw teh news story about Coatesville- scary stuff

5:03 pm

herinfernallady

Not sure Trifs I think one but he got transferred to the city due to death threats.

5:04 pm

5:05 pm

JBsAnno

Sad times right now in Philadelphia, another (young) policeman shot dead last night, right next to my bus stop near work. So senseless, so tragic.

5:08 pm

Anniebrook

a family friend who was a policeman was killed many years ago in the line of duty

5:08 pm

herinfernallady

ALoy they didn't have a chance. They all did the right thing and evacuated to the oval (field for playing on) and then a Policeman said GO just go leave. He saved about 200 of them

5:09 pm

Anniebrook

wow, herin...terrible

5:09 pm

stidgmere

Does anyone have the pe 6, 30 word. I am afraid I am not able to find it.

5:09 pm

Anniebrook

5:09 pm

Aloyisius

try the past tense of the pe4.7 before it, stidg

5:09 pm

stidgmere

the ce 5, 12 is a word that means the same as churl but spelled as a variant.

5:10 pm

stidgmere

BINGO. I didn't know that word had a past tense.

5:10 pm

herinfernallady

Annie not a chance. It breaks my heart that this was a town I played in as a kid. One of our roll playing members lost his Grandpa (or grandma) and uncle and very nearly died himself as fire swept over the firetruck

5:11 pm

Aloyisius

A churl is a lower class person in feudal times. But how about ce and ad the choice word "this -- that." Finish it off with the longfellow. Is that the ce 5 12 you need?

5:13 pm

JBsAnno

Hi, mkg!

8:04 pm

jillibus

Hi all

8:05 pm

k21eyes

hi Jili...hi all

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

I was just watching and listening to the pups. TY Dan!

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Hi k21

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

HI jill

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

I have been watching the puppies a bit compulsively.

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Me too, as if they will suddenly start walking like a dog and I will miss it.

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

last sp6 please?

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

NM, I found it, well, my monkey did

8:08 pm

dan2bit

sp + lease payment

8:09 pm

LynnNate08

sprent

8:09 pm

dan2bit

no eyes open and only 'swimming' and rolling so far

8:09 pm

LynnNate08

shoot sorry

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

No eyes open yet?

8:10 pm

dan2bit

nope. not sustained anyway - you can see the slits sometimes

8:10 pm

Scrabbler

How many times do they feed daily? And where is Cheetah?

8:10 pm

dan2bit

they are sure vocal though! :-)

8:11 pm

featherbee

i love all the little stretches they just did!

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

Their noises are funny--squeaks, etc

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

Hi feather

8:11 pm

BzznBea

TR7, please?

8:11 pm

dan2bit

Cheetah is probably just in the bedroom out of camera. She feeds them every 2-3 hours for 10-15 mins

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

And they flop all ov** each other

8:11 pm

dan2bit

tr + an ***** you can't refuse

8:12 pm

featherbee

they're getting positively roly poly!

8:12 pm

BzznBea

TY, dan.

8:12 pm

Scrabbler

Does Cheetah check on them a lot?

8:12 pm

dan2bit

she does a lot of "nose count" checks

8:13 pm

dan2bit

but all that nursing is very tiring for her, as you can guess

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

re6-7 please?

8:13 pm

Scrabbler

Is she eating and drinking a lot?

8:13 pm

featherbee

did you guys find something to ease her soreness from the nursing?

8:13 pm

redturtlehead

it looks exhausting, she must be really hungry all the time!

8:14 pm

dan2bit

yes drinking a ton, eating 4x a day. We got a recommendation to use cabbage leaves!

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

Human women use that too

8:14 pm

dan2bit

2 pairs of re6/7 - like a catch in football, and cast a ballot again

8:14 pm

featherbee

be careful with that! i do know that in humans, that can dry up milk if used too much

8:14 pm

featherbee

usually they're used to relieve engorgement

8:15 pm

Scrabbler

It was the second that I needed, Dan. TY

8:15 pm

jillibus

dan2, does Melanie have a bad cold?

8:15 pm

dan2bit

just a persistent cough

8:16 pm

jillibus

she must be tired too

8:16 pm

dan2bit

yeah it's messed with our sleep - I guess practice for being parents some day :)

8:16 pm

jillibus

you bet!

8:17 pm

redturtlehead

Ok dan, I think I speak for a few, please dont have 8 kids at once though!!!

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Dan!

8:17 pm

jillibus

ani idea who the daddy dog is?

8:17 pm

dan2bit

AVERT red!

8:17 pm

dan2bit

we don't - the shelter she was rescued from didn't even know she was pregnant

8:19 pm

jillibus

so I gathered. A doggy friend I showed your site to today suggested that there may have been 2 breedings, with Mouse and other little deceased one being from the second one.

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

Will you keep her or any of the pups?

8:19 pm

redturtlehead

dan2, this happened to me when I adopted my first dog. She ate and ate and ate the first week, I told the vet I thought she was pregnant, but they spayed her and took puppies which made me annoyed but they gave me no choice.

8:19 pm

dan2bit

ugh red how terrible

8:20 pm

dan2bit

the mom already has an adoptive owner, she just didn't have room to whelp puppies.

8:20 pm

Scrabbler

Aw, red, that is so sad and wrong.

8:20 pm

jillibus

Scrabs, there's a big explanation on the site if you scroll down

8:20 pm

redturtlehead

yes I was distressed, she was the best dog I have ever had.

8:20 pm

redturtlehead

I have to admit, i have no idea how I as a college student would have handled the 10 puppies.

8:20 pm

redturtlehead

in a 1 bedroom apt.

8:20 pm

dan2bit

So far we are not planning to keep a puppy. We have a dog of our own, and she's used to being an only dog. Also we're committed to keeping on with the foster thing, and that's easier with only one 'resident' dog

8:21 pm

dan2bit

but they can be darn irresistible

8:21 pm

jillibus

it's a great thing you're doing, dan2

8:21 pm

Scrabbler

My sister took on twin foster bunnies last fall and then decided to keep them when she fell in love quickly.

8:22 pm

Uneaixoise

2 of my 3 dogs were fosters :-)

8:22 pm

Uneaixoise

jillli, LOVE your icon!

8:22 pm

T'was funny at the musical I went to on Friday night. When the man playing about a million men was on stage in a gimp mask, studded collar and lead and a leather thong, he suddenly said, from beneath the mask, 'Someone just took a photo! If that ends up on YOutube, I'll stalk you forever to kill you!'

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

10:04 pm

Jacula

Hi Bab - I get accused of being awake all of the time, but I think you are awake moere often than I am. But it does p** me off when people question my waking hours/

10:04 pm

torgone

I knew that ..

10:05 pm

herinfernallady

Jac thats because we all know you are never need sleep. you are on a higher plain than us mortals and never need to sleep

10:06 pm

Jacula

My waking hours are what they are and when they are. I've worked all my life and have earned the 'right', I think.

10:06 pm

Minveryork

Well since no one's asking for clues,I'm off to bed now

My Mum learned that about 5 years ago when she decided to key her way into my house and then wake me up.

10:09 pm

herinfernallady

Did you get those instructs Jac? I don't mean to be pushy but I need to go and do study

10:09 pm

jjks

nite minver

10:09 pm

Jacula

When she realised what she'd unleashed she talked about e in childish terms, and then learned more about the Freebird. She hadn't learned her lesson from the last time she tried to thump me, when I was 13 and held her wrists and told her never to attempt hitting me again.

10:10 pm

Jacula

No, Herin, I didn't. Give them here, please.

10:11 pm

herinfernallady

Ill facebook message you it will be easier

10:12 pm

Jacula

Okay, Herin.

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

I have to go

10:13 pm

Jacula

6 months before that, when I was 12, she'd come at me with a big kitchen knife. I ran off the my friend over the road's then and did not agree to come home until my Dad came home from work. But she was menopausal, so maybe I forgive her now.

10:14 pm

torgone

How rude ..

10:14 pm

Jacula

'S'okay, Herin. I'm not having an earthquake moment here, you can go.

10:15 pm

torgone

Menopause can be a drag ..

10:16 pm

torgone

I've recently experienced menopause rage ..

10:16 pm

Jacula

A drag? Torg? It's a bloody nighmare, which is why I forgivve my Mum now.

10:17 pm

jjks

st 5/10 second one? I feel so blind tonight!

10:17 pm

Jacula

Torg - she didb't take the steak hammer to your orbs, did she?

10:17 pm

Jacula

If she did, what did you do?

10:17 pm

torgone

No .. fortunately we were miles away ..

10:18 pm

lbdawger

jjks, it's what the docs use to open an artery in your heart

10:18 pm

torgone

I just lost a friend is all ..

10:18 pm

jjks

got it - ty!

10:19 pm

Jacula

hjjk - = thing with a nasty sharp needle on the end and a plastic bit on the other that gets shoved into the back of your hand, for instance, in hospital.

10:19 pm

lbdawger

oh torg, i hope not.

10:20 pm

jjks

i identify very much w/what you are writing about - my mom and also what I'm dealing with

10:20 pm

Jacula

the st5/10 is the quick and easy way of administering drugs to your body.

10:21 pm

torgone

Yeah .. That flight crashed and burned before getting half way down the runway ..

10:22 pm

Jacula

Torg - you 'just lost a friend'? My daughter's b/f lost his best friend about 8 months ago and he's nnot coping well with the loss.

10:23 pm

torgone

I didn't lose in that sense ..

10:23 pm

torgone

Nobody died ..

10:23 pm

torgone

A relationship died ..

10:25 pm

torgone

I'm not clear sometimes ..

10:25 pm

Jacula

I'd like to connect with daughter's b/f about his lossm but he avoids me like the plague, mayve because I am his girlfriend's Mum, who looked just like her in my youth. And his Mum is off on a 'Life AIn't Fair' trip of her own, as I once was.

10:25 pm

torgone

I'm sorry

10:28 pm

Jacula

Torg - no need to apologise.

10:28 pm

Jacula

It's sh*t when it all goes wrong, Torg. I know that.

10:30 pm

torgone

You're a dear Jac ..

10:31 pm

Jacula

xxx Torg.

10:34 pm

torgone

Good night and God bless ..

Jacula

Thank God for the Cockney sparrow saying ch5/16 to greet the day for this gird, even if he does cough and sneeze and wheeze a buit, due to all the car fumes.
